fro_drummer 10 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 I am wanting to buy a spoiler for my 69 coupe. I may be alone in my opinion but all the spoilers I have seen look a little too tall (MU, Year one, etc). They look great on the fastbacks but look a little awkward on the coupes. Wondering if anyone has seen a spoiler that has a slightly lower profile or how hard it would be to shorten the vertical arms/pillars to get a sleeker look. I want a car that looks good, and the whole "push-mower" look just doesn't appeal to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foothilltom 33 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 Agreed with your analysis. My son bought a spoiler for his coupe and after many "test fittings", he just didn't like the look at all. I had to concur. I didn't like the look or the mounting situation. I think these things look great on sportsroof cars, but not so much on the coupe. Anybody want to buy a new (never installed) spoiler? :) Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mcgirr455 10 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 The 1971 thru 73 spoilers have a shorter pedestal and narrower bolt down spacing. I have a factory one for a 71 that I'm not going to use because I have a 69 Mach that I would part with, and I have both tall and short pedestals with it.

RogerC 136 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 Just another suggestion, Cougar Eliminators came with the rear spoiler also. Not sure about any differences though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fro_drummer 10 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Are the repro's plastic or fiberglass? I may just need to do some cutting. Anyone ever constructed a spoiler from scratch? I figured I could build my own with an interior skeleton (reinforced) wrapped in steel or aluminium sheeting of some sort. Much like the way they construct an airplane wing. I want something that is less "attention grabbing" and more subtle. Something that flows well with the body lines and stance of the car. Sure it would be time consuming.... But what ISN'T time consuming when restoring these cars??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
